Do French Women tend to be less endowed than other Women?

It is an anthropological stereotype, not altogther a cultural
one --anthropologists classify the Mediterranean figure -- short legs, low
breast line-- as averse to the Nordic: long legs, high breasts. Happily,
they are all women.

In general -- only very general, what with increasing moving about of
popuations -- the further one goes south in Europe, the shorter the legs
and, to a lesser extent, smaller the breasts.

Talk about smaller breasts in Italy. Stereotypes do not show a
reality.

Not all, just the majority.

Not true. The average heights of adult French and American women are
almost identical (about 5'4").

of General deGaulle walking in the crowds and he stands a full head
taller than the masses) ...

He was very tall.

Neither. Freud spent his life projecting the sexual and personal
-hygiene hangups of himself and his entourage onto the entire human
species, even though they were only applicable to a tiny microcosm of
European society.

Lets not forget the rest of the stereotypes. French women:

1 Are slim
2 Dress well
3 Smell like heaven
4 Fcuk like rattlesnakes
5 Don't rush off to the shower after sex (see 3)

The first two are correct stereotypes. They do not have any particular
smell that I'm aware of. I don't have any information on 4 and 5, but I
know that many French women take regular showers (especially those under
age 40 or so).

Tiny microcosm? Think again.

Denial? Wishful thinking?

Alright perhaps I'm the one who knows almost all the exceptions to the
anthropological stereotype. Nordic women are taller, that's a fact.
That makes them have longer legs, that's a consequence of the first
one. About breasts, natural ones, you'll find a bit of everything
everywhere. My statement is not "anthropological" but maybe like said
I just know the exceptions.

There are probably many less plus sized women in Paris than in any American

Yeah isn't that one of the mysteries? The cuisine has a lot of
fat-heavy dishes but the women are slender?
